Ufunuo 14
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kisha nikaona mlima Sioni, na Mwanakondoo amesimama juu yake; pamoja naye walikuwa watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu ambao juu ya paji za nyuso zao walikuwa wameandikwa jina la Mwanakondoo na jina la Baba yake.
1Then I looked and saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2Basi, nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni, sauti iliyokuwa kama sauti ya maji mengi na kama sauti ya ngurumo kubwa. Sauti niliyosikia ilikuwa kama sauti ya wachezaji muziki wakipiga vinubi vyao.
2And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of many waters and the loud rumbling of thunder. And the sound I heard was like harpists strumming their harps.
3Walikuwa wanaimba wimbo mpya mbele ya kiti cha enzi na mbele ya wale viumbe hai wanne na wale wazee. Hakuna mtu aliyeweza kujifunza wimbo huo isipokuwa hao watu mia moja arobaini na nne elfu waliokombolewa duniani.
3And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
4Watu hao ndio wale waliojiweka safi kwa kutoonana kimwili na wanawake, nao ni mabikira. Wao humfuata Mwanakondoo kokote aendako. Wamekombolewa kutoka miongoni mwa binadamu wengine, wakawa wa kwanza kutolewa kwa Mungu na kwa Mwanakondoo.
4These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They have been redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
5Hawakupata kamwe kuwa waongo; hawana hatia yoyote.
5And no lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
6Kisha nikamwona malaika mwingine anaruka juu angani akiwa na Habari Njema ya milele ya Mungu, aitangaze kwa watu wote waishio duniani, kwa mataifa yote, makabila yote, watu wa lugha zote na rangi zote.
6Then I saw another angel flying overhead, with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.
7Akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mcheni Mungu na kumtukuza! Maana saa imefika ya kutoa hukumu yake. Mwabuduni yeye aliyeumba mbingu na nchi, bahari na chemchemi za maji.”
7And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.”
8Malaika wa pili alimfuata huyo wa kwanza akisema, “Ameanguka! Naam, Babuloni mkuu ameanguka! Babuloni ambaye aliwapa mataifa yote wainywe divai yake—divai kali ya uzinzi wake!”
8Then a second angel followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has made all the nations drink the wine of the passion of her immorality.”
9Na malaika wa tatu aliwafuata hao wawili akisema kwa sauti kubwa, “Yeyote anayemwabudu yule mnyama na sanamu yake na kukubali kutiwa alama yake juu ya paji la uso wake au juu ya mkono wake,
9And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10yeye mwenyewe atakunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, ambayo imemiminwa katika kikombe cha ghadhabu yake bila kuchanganywa na maji. Mtu huyo atateseka ndani ya moto na kiberiti mbele ya malaika watakatifu na mbele ya Mwanakondoo.
10he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.
11Moshi wa moto unaowatesa kupanda juu milele na milele. Watu hao waliomwabudu huyo mnyama na sanamu yake, na kutiwa alama ya jina lake, hawatakuwa na nafuu yoyote usiku na mchana.”
11And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
12Kutokana na hayo, ni lazima watu wa Mungu, yaani watu wanaotii amri ya Mungu na kumwamini Yesu, wawe na uvumilivu.
12Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13Kisha nikasikia sauti kutoka mbinguni ikisema, “Andika! Heri watu ambao tangu sasa wanakufa wakiwa wameungana na Bwana.” Naye Roho asema, “Naam! Watapumzika kutoka taabu zao; maana matunda ya jasho lao yatawafuata.”
13And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”
14Kisha nikatazama, na kumbe palikuwapo wingu jeupe hapo. Na juu ya wingu hilo kulikuwa na kiumbe kama mtu. Alikuwa amevaa taji ya dhahabu kichwani, na kushika mundu mkononi mwake.
14And I looked and saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was One like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
15Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka Hekaluni, na kwa sauti kubwa akamwambia yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu, “Tafadhali, tumia mundu wako ukavune mavuno, maana wakati wa mavuno umefika; mavuno ya dunia yameiva.”
15Then another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the One seated on the cloud, “Swing Your sickle and reap, because the time has come to harvest; for the crop of the earth is ripe.”
16Basi, yule aliyekuwa amekaa juu ya wingu akautupa mundu wake duniani, na mavuno ya dunia yakavunwa.
16So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17Kisha malaika mwingine akatoka katika Hekalu mbinguni akiwa na mundu wenye makali.
17Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
18Kisha malaika mwingine msimamizi wa moto, akatoka madhabahuni akamwambia kwa sauti kubwa yule malaika mwenye mundu wenye makali, “Nawe tia huo mundu wako mkali, ukakate vichala vya mizabibu ya dunia, maana zabibu zake zimeiva!”
18Still another angel, with authority over the fire, came from the altar and called out in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.”
19Basi, malaika huyo akautupa mundu wake duniani, akakata zabibu za dunia, akazitia ndani ya chombo kikubwa cha kukamulia zabibu, chombo cha ghadhabu ya Mungu.
19So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.
20Zabibu zikakamuliwa ndani ya hilo shinikizo lililoko nje ya mji, na damu ikatoka katika shinikizo hilo mtiririko mrefu kiasi cha mita mia tatu na kina chake kiasi cha mita mia mbili.
20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed from it rose as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of 1,600 stadia.
